Tom Bewick, Chairman, INSSO

Globalisation is placing new demands on education and training systems worldwide. The sector-based approach is uniquely bridging that gap, helping industry partners and educators, ultimately access more employable people who are better skilled. INSSO exists to identify and share international best practice through a sectoral approach.
